It really must suck for the Los Angeles Angels fans who expected to see the same productive Albert Pujols that played in St Louis for the last 11 years, only to realize that the Angels are paying an old and washed-up Pujols $254 million only to trick their fans into buying season tickets.
The Angels would have been far better off spending that $254 million given to Pujols on a few good players who would have helped make the team better, instead of paying all $254 million to one player who's best baseball days are behind him in St Louis.
So far this season, Pujols is only hitting at .268, going 11 for 41, with no homeruns, which is actually less production than the Cardinals are getting out of some of their least paid players.
We think that the Angels may be happy for the time being, while all of the Angels fans are still buying Pujols jersey, and tickets to the game, but we feel that the Los Angeles Angels and especially the Los Angeles Angels fans will regret signing Albert Pujols to such a large 10 year deal. Especially when most people think that Pujols has been lying about his age for years, and will only last another year or two at the most.
