And no, Bonds' 2002 performance doesn't even come close to matching what Beltran has already done.

I disagree. Beltran obviously is hitting HRs at a better pace, but Bonds' overall performance (1.559 OPS) was almost as good, and he managed to sustain it over twice as many games as Beltran has. If we're looking at short postseason performances, neither of them came close to Babe Ruth in 1928: 3 HR, 3 2B, a .625 avg., and a staggering 2.022 OPS. He played half as many games in that postseason as Beltran has this postseason, though, just like Beltran's played half as many games this postseason as Bonds did in the 2002 postseason.
