I don't think Sauron could control the Balrogs, and I don't think he meant to. Where else than in Moria would he have liked a Balrog (except in his army, but this is out of the question because he couldn't control it).
Sauron as 'his puppet', which made the pass near Isengard very dangerous. Caradhras was also a way with risk. And then a Balrog in Moria to block all the ways from West to East and the otherway round. Could it be better? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

greetings,

P.S.: By the way, I doubt if Sauron knew there was a Balrog in Moria. The Wise didnt know until Gandalf had to fight it.
