You've nicely overlooked the K ratio.
Beckham as a rookie: 6.46 AB/K
Francoeur as a rookie: 4.43 AB/K
Beckham has always been and will always be a much better contact hitter. Getz is actually a better comparison to Beckham than Francouer is, and Getz is still a really bad comparison. IMO Beckham will be a lot more like Chase Utley.
IMO, Beckham will be a lot more like.. well, Beckham.
Sorry, I've just never really been a fan of comparing players to other players. He is what he is, thankfully. He's going to be amazing.
