What Yankee fans will ignore is that they wouldn't even have made the playoffs without ARod having the year he had.

I am not for or against ARod, but presumably they would have spent the money (that they take in from their large and dedicated fan base) on two or three other players.

What did the Yankees pay A-Rod this year, $15m? (25m - 10m from Texas?).
There is pretty much no way you find three $5m free agents that combine to be more valuable than A-Rod was this year.
Without looking at any numbers, I'm fairly confident in saying that A-Rod was the absolute best place they could have spent that money this year.
