Tyler Rogers is about to call Rogers Centre home for the next three, or possibly four years with a vesting option. The Toronto Blue Jays signed the 34-year-old righty over the weekend to a $37 million contract, made official on Monday and they are hoping that what he lacks in velocity, he will more than make up for in attacking the zone.

Rogers has never been feared for how hard he throws the ball to the plate, but his bread and butter has been getting guys to succumb to his unique delivery, and in the process he has avoided walking hitters just about as well as anyone in the league.
