I think what the people showing concern are really worried about, Markus is handeling very well. I think it is far better for this quality to be implemented cautiously until we are certain how much the quality really exists. 3 wins for framing pitches is a pretty big deal. Are we really ready for the computer to be trading Ryan Howard for a good catcher at framing pitches?
Everything researched thus far may very well be true and correct but it is still a huge change to the mechanics of the game.

I was initially 100% on board with this new framing implementation, but you guys do raise some very interesting concerns. I know we're in capable hands with Markus and co, but as we've seen before the communities concerns help keep this game on top.
