I researched this a bit last year and came away with the following findings in OOTP 25, with the framing importance rating set to the default setting...
-the difference between a 20/80 framer and an 80/80 framer for a starting catcher is around 30-40 runs (so 3-4 wins) per year. But of course, you'd never actually want to play a 20/80 framing catcher.
-more importantly, the difference between a 60/80 framer (which is roughly average for a starting catcher in a typical league) and an 80/80 framer is around 10-15 runs (so 1-1.5 wins) per year.
I estimated this by setting up two teams of "average" players across the board, then moving individuals ratings for single players up or down, then simming 100 seasons worth of games in the simulation module.
So certainly nothing to sneeze at, but also something that can be made up without too much difficulty by a good hitter.
