Well what team are you playing with? Some teams are obviously better from a market size and financial outlook aspect.
If you are playing with like say the Marlins and let the AI do everything it probably would take a decade to climb out of the basement.
Those tiny teams are lucky to afford 2 long term players over 5 years. So you can almost never sign a free agent star or even extend your homegrown players once they are nearing the end of arbitration. You might not even afford some arbitration deals depending if they reached super star status.
Gigantic difference from the top market teams Dodgers, RSox, Yankees, Cubs . But even a big difference from the normal teams Phillies, Nationals, Braves, Rockies.
