Albert Pujols declined the offer to stay in St. Louis and goes for the big money, 10 years, and a no-trade clause. Did the Angels really need him? No! First Base, Morales and Trumbo! A good first basemen and a Rookie Of The Year canidate!!! But the big question is: can the Cardinals go without Pujols? Actually yes, sadly, but yes. Berkman is a good first basemen and that could give Craig playtime in the outfield. Also, Mark Hamilton, who is now in the minor leagues, could get playtime at first as well. The Cardinals could also use the money not used on pujols to sign a good player at first base or the lacking shortstop position. |

He isn't greedy
From wikipedia, full-credit
Pujols Family Foundation
In 2005, Albert and Deidre Pujols launched the Pujols Family Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit which is dedicated to their "commitment to faith, family and others."[103] The organization promotes awareness of Down syndrome and works to support those who have it and their families, aids the poor in the Dominican Republic, and supports people with disabilities and/or life threatening illnesses.[103] Among other activities, the foundation hosts events for people with Down syndrome.[90] The foundation gave the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis the resources to open and office and hire staff.[90] A center for adults with Down syndrome bears Pujols' name ("Albert Pujols Wellness Center for Adults with Down Syndrome") opened in 2009 in Chesterfield, Missouri;[104] he was present at the opening on November 18.[105][106]
Pujols has taken several trips to the Dominican Republic, by taking supplies as well as a team of doctors and dentists to the poor who need medical care. The Pujols Family Foundation also holds an annual golf tournament to raise money to send dentists to the Dominican Republic.[107] |

I know Albert is a great guy, he is a Christian, but couldn't he have done all of that charity work with the cardinals and 200million instead of 240million and the angels? |

I guess so.
Hey, you know, we could probably see why he decided to go there when the press conference is on the MLB network. |
