TAMPA, Fla. -- Welcome to the Land of Opportunity, formerly known as George M. Steinbrenner Field.
"I felt like it was a good chance for me," Mark Prior said Friday.
"I think I picked the right spot, man," Freddy Garcia said a few minutes later.
"They gave me the opportunity to pitch again," Bartolo Colon said.
