Not only is 32 old to be handing out a five year deal to a catcher. I'll bet 2014 is an exception rather than the rule going forward. His only other season that matches up was when he was 24.

IMHO a 5 year deal to a 32 year old catcher is a serious stretch unless you consider him a 1B or DH at the tail end of the deal. If so, they over paid...
