Did Pujols deserve it?

Albert Pujols was signed by the Los Angeles Angels for 10 years, a contract worth around 254 Million dollars. Being the by far best free agent in winter of 2011-2012 the only player anywhere near him was Prince fielder, who later was signed to the Detroit Tigers. Albert Pujols was a world series champion. Why leave St.Louis, Why now? 254 Million would make you pack up and move too. But 10 years? I mean Albert will turn 43 in his last year of his contract. He may be one of the best hitters to ever play the game of baseball but 43? The angels think its worth it but they also signed Vernon Wells a while back and this season they owe him 26 million dollars and Torii Hunter 18 Million. Wells being 33 and Hunter being 36, 42 Million to some players leaving there prime, these 2 men have not made much of an impact always coming in 2nd in the west to the powerhouse Texas Rangers and not making a legit playoff run for about 5 years . Albert could turn this team in a good direction but Mark Trumbo who hit 29 homers and with 87 RBI (lead the team in both category's) only makes 414,000 this year maybe its not all about the money.
