Giants to have Javier Lopez as instructor, and perhaps Bonds (Yahoo Sports)

Recently retired Giants left-hander Javier Lopez will work as a special instructor for San Francisco at spring training and there are discussions with home run king Barry Bonds about spending some time with the club in Arizona, too. General manager Bobby Evans said Friday that Lopez - an important reliever on the Giants' World Series winners in 2010, '12 and '14 - would join the team at its Scottsdale spring home.
