The first time I tried it with Texas, because they came in dead last in the AL that year - but they had a good budget. Won the world series and Manager of the Year (season score 1010). Then my friend told me it only worked because I had a great offense enabled by the high budget, so I applied it to the Houston Astros and got the posted results - winning the world series and manager of the year again. Season score of 1500 (which I did not even know was possible). It was easier with the small market team because you don't have a lot of overpaid veterans that are hard to trade off to mold the team the way you need it.

Yes, you do have to play out every game. That's the only downside, but since in real life they have to do this anyway, it would not be an inconvenience for THEM to try it! Putting aside the ego of the starting pitching staff, I don't know why it wouldn't work in real life.
