Beltran has declinded to participate in this years homerun derby.  Wright participated (with Lo Duca pitching) and had a good showing, but didn't hit for power much in the second half.

Beltran has said though he will use his appearance at the All Star game to pick up tips, and plans to speak with Giants OFer Barry Bonds on what he does.  Bonds, who you may or may not be familiar with, is known to have the ability to hit the long ball.
