Non-roster invitee Jonathan Sanchez is trying to make the Cubs' Opening Day roster as a reliever. Just five of Sanchez's 134 appearances since 2008 have come in relief, but the left-hander is at a crossroads in his career and is willing to give the conversion a shot. The 31-year-old is feeling good about how his stuff has been early on in camp. "I've got my speed, my slider, my split - everything is there," he said. "I'm getting back to where I was." Sanchez owns an 8.73 ERA and has more walks than strikeouts over the last two seasons. However, if his stuff is indeed back, it wouldn't be a shock to see him turn into a useful bullpen open for the Cubs.
