SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Barry Bonds certainly thinks hes worthy of election to the Hall of Fame. "Without a doubt," baseballs home run king said Monday at the San Francisco Giants spring training camp, where he will serve as a hitting instructor for a week. The 49-year-old Bonds spent his last 15 big league seasons with San Francisco, finishing in 2007 with 762 homers. But his final years were clouded by suspicions of performance-enhancing drug use, and the seven-time NL MVP was convicted of one obstruction count in April 2011 by a jury that found an answer he gave was criminally evasive during 2003 testimony before a grand jury investigating the distribution of PEDs. And he didnt even come close to election to the Hall in his first two turns on the ballot. Advice for the writers who have not voted for him: "You guys are all adults. I have no advice for you." One topic he wouldnt discuss: Alex Rodriguez, who is serving a season-long drug suspension. Bonds said he respects Rodriguez and will talk to him individually, "not in a press conference." Meeting with about three dozen media for about 30 minutes on a patio overlooking the left field area at Scottsdale Stadium, Bonds wanted to put the controversial past behind him. "It feels really good to be back," Bonds said. "It feels good to give back to the game that I love. Hopefully, Ill be a part of this longer. ... Im enjoying it. "I am more nervous at this than I was playing, because it was only my mind and me. Hopefully I can bring good value to the ballclub. Well see how it works out," he added. "I dont even know if Im good at it." Looking about 30 pounds lighter than his playing weight of 230 and considerably more affable, Bonds wore an orange-and-black Giants cap, a black windbreaker and baseball pants, ready for the first day of work in a seven-day stay in camp. He appeared relaxed, laughing and joking more in a few minutes than he did during the years when he ruled the teams clubhouse from his corner reclining chair. "Im just a different character. I was a different character playing," he said. "Now Ive had time to slow down, do other things. I needed that guy to play, its who I was at the time. Im the same person, just a different character. ... Teammates used to say, you dont play when youre nice. It worked. Whatever it was, it worked." After meeting with the media, Bonds watched Posey and others intently in the batting cage. "The timing was right. Thats why its happening now," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Its good for Barry to see how its going to work for him. To me, he is one of the greatest minds in baseball." Would he perhaps like to manage some day? "I want to try and get through these seven days first," he said with a laugh. Tyler Pitlick Jersey .

The 49ers have had some extra time to analyze their own disappointing loss and will try to get on track out of their bye week against the Rams in a matchup at Levis Stadium. San Francisco has been out of action since a 42-17 loss to the Broncos on Oct. 19, a Sunday night match in Denver that saw Peyton Manning set the all-time record for touchdown passes. Manning broke Brett Favres former mark of 508 by firing touchdown passes on three of his first four drives. The Niners were outgained by the Broncos 419-310 and Colin Kaepernick was sacked six times while completing 24-of-39 pass attempts for 263 yards. He threw a touchdown pass to Stevie Johnson, who ended with 79 yards receiving on five catches, but was also picked off once. In all phases the Broncos were on their game, especially Peyton, said Niners head coach Jim Harbaugh. San Francisco, which had won two straight, now comes out of its bye tied with fellow 4-3 Seattle for second place in the NFC West, with both clubs training 6-1 Arizona. St. Louis is bringing up the rear at 2-5 and opened up its three-week span of road contests with a 34-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. It marked the Rams fifth loss in its past six road games dating back to last season. St. Louis opened up the scoring with a one-yard touchdown pass by Austin Davis to tight end Lance Kendricks, but it was all Kansas City from there. The Rams couldnt build off last weeks emotional home win over Seattle. Davis went just 15-of-25 passing for 160 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and the Rams rushing unit was limited to just 84 yards. Kansas City totaled seven sacks in the victory. We clearly got out played the second half of this game, in all three phases, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. We started fast but we didnt finish. The Rams have lost three straight to the 49ers, including a 31-17 setback at home on Oct. 13. Again, St. Louis got off to a fast start, going up 14-0 in the first quarter on Benny Cunninghams short scoring run and Kendricks TD catch. However, the Niners responded with 24 straight points, including a momentum- changing 80-yard touchdown catch by Brandon Lloyd with 14 seconds left in the first half. Kaepernick threw for 343 yards and three touchdown passes, while Anquan Boldin caught seven passes for 94 yards with a score. Davis was sacked five times, with 49ers linebackers Ahmad Brooks and Dan Skuta getting him twice each. WHAT TO WATCH FOR San Francisco is close to getting healthy -- nose tackle Glenn Dorsey, running back Marcus Lattimore and linebacker NaVarro Bowman should all return in the near future -- and the bye week allowed a number of players who missed the Denver game recover. Left guard Mike Iupati (concussion) and cornerback Chris Culliver (hamstring) practiced in full on Monday, while linebacker Patrick Willis (toe) and safety Jimmie Ward (quadriceps) were limited. However, cornerback Chris Cook and starting center Daniel Kilgore were both lost to season-ending injuries suffered versus the Broncos. Cook suffered a torn hamstring, robbing the Niners of some depth in the secondary, while Kilgore sustained a fractured left leg. Rookie Marcus Martin, a third-round pick out of USC, will get the first shot at replacing Kilgore, though he got off to a late start this season due to a left knee injury suffered during the preseason that held him out of practice until earlier this month. I think hes a very bright guy. Hes very mature, Harbaugh said of Martin. Hes champing at the bit to play and hes shown that through the anxiousness to get back on the field and study habits. So, its been good.dddddddddddd. Im excited for him to compete. How Martin and Iupati play could dictate how much success running back Frank Gore can have against the Rams. Gore has racked up 1,229 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns in 16 games versus the Rams. San Francisco ranks 10th in rushing offense at 125.1 yards per game, while the Rams are giving up 144.7 yards on the ground per game to sit 31st in the league. Kaepernick also has been efficient in this series, posting a 117.6 passer rating over the three-game series winning streak. He has six touchdown passes and zero interceptions over the run. Even with the injuries and suspension to linebacker Aldon Smith, the Niners still boast the leagues second-ranked defense, which is giving up just 306.0 yards per game overall and just 84.9 YPG on the ground. San Francisco padded its sack total versus St. Louis and has 12 on the season, while the Rams have managed just an NFL-low six sacks on the year. However, St. Louis is getting hot up front. Defensive end Robert Quinn has three sacks in his last two games after getting none over his first five games, while rookie defensive tackle Aaron Donald has 11 tackles for a loss. The Rams rank 26th in points per game (19.4) and are 22nd in total offense at 336.4 yards per game, so the recent losses of tackle Jake Long and wide receiver Brian Quick were especially uninvited. Both will miss the rest of the season after getting hurt versus the Chiefs. Long torn the ACL in his knee for the second time in less than a year, while Quick has significant damage to his shoulder according to Fisher. Wide receivers Stedman BGailey and Chris Givens will see a bigger role due to the loss of Quick, who had 25 catches for 375 yards and three touchdowns in seven games this season. Long, a former No. 1 draft pick, had started 22 games for the Rams since they signed him prior to last season. He tore both the anterior and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee in Week 16 last year. With Long out, rookie first-round pick Greg Robinson will move from left guard to the left tackle spot and Mike Person is in line to make his first career start at left guard if Rodger Saffolds shoulder prevents him from playing. Fisher thought Robinson was fine in switching positions versus the Chiefs after Long got hurt. He had some issues, they had outstanding rushers, but he was strong and stout, noted Fisher. Thats what he does. Hell have a week to work on the footwork and things like that this week. He went out there and knew what to do and came out of the stack on a screen and executed a block. You can see his athletic ability when he made the tackle on the interception. At the tackle position, hell be fine. Kendricks, meanwhile, has a TD catch in three straight games and could be the first Ram with a scoring grab over four consecutive games since Torry Holt in 2006. St. Louis made a trade prior to the deadline this week, getting third-year safety Mark Barron from Tampa Bay for two draft picks in 2015. Barron, the seventh overall pick of the 2012 draft, has recorded 49 tackles in seven games this year after totaling 88 each of his first two seasons. The Alabama product has recorded three career interceptions. OVERALL ANALYSIS Consistency has escaped the Niners this season, but not the Rams, who seem to struggle late in games week in and week out. All signs seem to favor San Francisco this weekend. The 49ers are home, fresh off a bye and taking on a Rams team missing several key contributors to injury. Hitting the road doesnt favor St. Louis at all. The 49ers had no issues overcoming a fast Rams start a few weeks ago and should come out of the gate firing this Sunday.
