Grantland had an interview with Russell Martin and the skill of framing pitches this week.

 

The plot of called strikes comparing 2008-2012 and 2013.

This may be of more interest considering that the Twins have the guy that caught many games for the Pirates from 2008-2011.

 

You can also find interviews at Baseball Prospectus (not behind the pay wall) with the perspective from a pitcher (McCarthy), catcher (Miguel Montero/Chris Stewart), GM (Towers), scout and former umpire (McKeon).

 

This link will take you to the BP Unfiltered blog and you will find the interviews within

 

Baseball Prospectus

 

I hope the Twins are paying attention. If you don't have pitchers that can get swings and misses, you need every called strike you can get.
