The timing is agressive but he is absolutely worth that money if his production continues at the same level. Considering he is 26 there is no reason to believe that he wont.
Here is the deal:

10 years/$157.75M (2011-20), plus 2021 club option

-11:$5.5M,
-12:$8.25M,
-13:$10M,
-14:$16M,
-15-19:$20M annually,
-20:$14M,
-21:$15M club option ($4M buyout)

-salaries for 2020 and 2021 may increase by $6M annually based on MVP votes, Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers or All-Star selections

-$2M assignment bonus if traded

-may be traded only once during contract

Now that doesnt look so bad does it?
