Difference between a split change and a sinker?

Doug inquired

my response:

Wow...haven't heard the split change mentioned in some time. That's pretty old school since the circle change and three finger change popularity has put it on the back burner. The two finger split change has a grip that's wider and off the seams and choked (fairly deep towards the palm) as compared to the two seam sinker grip that is not choked. Both pitches are thrown with the same action as a fastball. 

Glad you specified split finger change up and not its not so related Roger Craig developed split finger fastball.
