Great news!

"He's getting a little weight on, good weight," Bochy said of Sanchez.

The 25-year-old Sanchez has spent parts of the past two seasons in the majors, making eight total starts in 60 appearances and getting 98 strikeouts in 92 innings. He started 48 games in the minor leagues, then made the opening day roster for the first time last season.

While Sanchez would prefer to be a starter -- and is still being treated like one this spring -- he wants to stay in the big leagues no matter the role. Whatever happens, he knows he put in the time during the offseason. It's the hardest he's worked in a winter yet.

"I feel stronger," he said. "I think I'll be more consistent. I'm ready to go and want to fight for the fifth spot. In the majors, it's hard to get a spot. When you're a rookie, you have to establish a spot and it's hard to do. It doesn't matter where I finish. I just want to pitch."

Jonathan Sanchez may have found his arm slot. Finding a role for him is up to the Giants.

Unlike last year, when manager Bruce Bochy expressed reluctance to switch Sanchez between starting and relieving, the left-hander might fill whatever need happens to be the most pressing.

"We'll put him where we think he can help this ballclub," Bochy said Saturday.

Sanchez is challenging Kevin Correia for the fifth starter's spot, but although he's being "stretched out" to pitch multiple innings, moving to a relief role would not be a difficult transition, at least physically.

Meanwhile, Sanchez again looked sharp in his second throwing session off a bullpen mound. So far, he has eased the Giants' concerns about his struggles to repeat his delivery.

"It's going to make a big difference in his command of his pitches," Bochy said.

Step 3: Profit!
