I don't think its a bad deal but I don't think its a steal just because he wanted a Werth-like contract and didn't get it. He obviously knew he wasn't getting a Werth type deal.
I'm sure every player that hits FA wants a Werth-like massive overpay type contract. When people don't get it I don't consider them a steal because of it.
And the 5th year of the deal is an easy vesting option based on plate appearances in 2016 so as long as he's healthy the deal is 5 years/$70M.
