Texeiara, A-Roid, Damon, Matsui, Sabathia, Burnett are all members of that core too, none of them were scouted by the Yankees.
Sure it's a good mix, but signing the top 3 FA this past offseason put them over the edge. Take out one of Sabathia, Burnett and Texeiara and there's no way the Yankees are where they are today.
