All three of those guys were a lot better at the end than you remember. Tex gave them a 144 OPS+, 4 WAR season for them in his second to last year. I don't see how anyone can look at the last decade of Yankees baseball and not think they underachieved. He had the #1 or #2 payroll every year. Never had a payroll less than 216m(!) and won one world series. 

 

I really like you, but that is some awesome cherry picking on Tex....by fwar:

 

2013: 15 games,    -.1 WAR

2014: 123 games,   1.0 WAR

2015: 111 games,    2.9 WAR (hey, a good year!)

2016: 116 games,    -1.1 WAR

 

AROD:

2.1 WAR

.5 WAR

2.7 WAR

-1.2 WAR

 

those two alone are around 50MM of that huge budget.....

 

They expect a WS title every 3 to 4 years.
 

I think it's worse than that. I think they feel they are entitled to a WS title every 3 to 4 years.
