No, if anything he hurt their chances of being in the World Series during the controversy leading to his banishment from baseball.
Only Eric Davis, Barry Larkin, Paul O'Neil, Chris Sabo, Tom Browning, and Jose Rijo, played significant roles on both teams. If you add the back up catcher, Jeff Reed, that means less than a third of Rose's players were big contributors to Lou Piniella's World Series Championship team in 1990.

Actually Rose managed from 84 until Aug 89, so he should get some credit for that 90 team. He finished 2nd each season from 85-88, obviously 89 had a lot of distractions, they finished 5th.
KEY to the 1990 team was the bullpen. The Nasty boys.
Dibble, Charlton, Myers.
Rijo and Browning were solid
