The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have signed two of the biggest free agents that were available this off season. The first person they were able to sign was 31 - year old Albert Pujols. Pujols was with the World Series winning Cardinals before deciding to leave St. Louis for Los Angeles. For the quality of player he is, he was underpaid his entire career and some people believe that he went where the most money was to make up for some that he may or may not have lost out on. He received a ten year deal from them worth approximately $254 million. Albert is exactly what the Angels needed. The Angels only were able to produce 67 RBI's from the third spot in the lineup last year and Pujols with have no problem surpassing that number this year.
The best pitcher on the market was C.J. Wilson and he signed shortly after Pujols did. Wilson will be the third pitcher in the five man rotation for Mike Scioscia. It was an even better signing for them because Wilson is a lefty and that will help them immensely. Wilson left the Texas Rangers, who were World Series runner up's for the second year in a row.
