'Last shot' motivates Sanchez to improve control

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Finally, left-hander Jonathan Sanchez gets it. Pitching isn't just about throwing hard.

The question is whether it's too late to make a difference for him in pro ball.

Sanchez is 33. He hasn't played in the Majors or Minors for the past two years.

But Sanchez still has the dream, and so he is in camp with the Reds this spring, looking for that one last chance to turn potential into results.

Oh, Sanchez had his moment in the sun, but it was fleeting, roughly a season and a half out of a big league career that included parts of eight seasons.
