You will get decent results except for earned runs. The biggest obstacle to that method was pitcher fatigue, and Markus has solved that with the global fatigue reset in the latest patch. All of the workarounds now actually work. It has taken a long time for the game to get to this point, and I prefer to see the glass as half full.
The problem is though that those work-arounds only apply to human controlled teams, so you;re still going to get some issues with teams you don't control.
