Not really a baseball question, but I can always tell when an article is written by you even without looking at who the author is. How did you go about developing and practicing your own unique writing style? Love your work at fangraphs
Nicklaus Gaut
12:31
Thank you so much!
My style certainly is "distinctive" lol
12:32
The simplest (and best) advice I've gotten is just to write. Write like yourself and then write some more.
So that's what I do. Whatever is on my mind, silly or not, goes from brain to page.

Had a trade offered to me yesterday that I ultimately accepted but in the long run, who do you think it’ll benefit? I traded him Yordan and Jeff McNeil for Adolis Garcia and Rafael Devers 🤔
Nicklaus Gaut
12:33
Yordan is hard to move but I still like your side
Play ball

Keep Josh Bell or Nate Lowe?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:33
Lowe

I also have alex kirillof have.  I admit I like his potential.  Alex or brett?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:34
I'm going to say, Bret. I've always had a soft spot for Kiriloff but at this point I'm going to have to see him stay healthy in the majors for more than a few weeks
John Everymanguy
12:34
Is Logan Allen worth a hold in Dynasty Leagues or no?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:34
Definately
Jim C
12:35
Is Bard taking back over as closer? If so, when?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:35
I think the job will go back to being his as soon as he's comfortable.
ActionZach
12:35
Should I keep holding Miguel Vargas and Oscar Colas ?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:36
If you have a deep bench
Flash
12:36
Do you sell high on Lugo in the coming weeks?  Almost certain an innings limit is coming since the most innings he’s thrown was 101 back in 2018.
Nicklaus Gaut
12:36
I mean, if you can get something for him that qualifies as high, sure. I'm not sure what the market will be, though
Oviedo
12:37
Is Oviedo for real?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:37
Really, really like him. Have added in multiple leagues the past few weeks
Struggling 5 x 5
12:37
I had my mouse on the drop button for Miles Mikalos? He's been awful. Will he bounce back?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:38
Ugg, so-ooo awful. I wasn't high on him going into this season but think you still gotta hold for a bit longer
Jaxon
12:38
ETA on Kyle Harrison
Nicklaus Gaut
12:38
late summer
Alek Thomas
12:38
Alek Thomas hasn't hit much after pitchers adjusted to him last year.  What should I expect from him this year?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:39
the bat might take awhile (especially against LHP) but be happy for now that his defense is keeping him starting almost every day
brian

Weekly league. Need a Util: Starling Marte, Anthony Santander, Alec Bohm, or Jorge Polanco?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:40
Marte
Dano
12:40
Is Triston Casas a good buy-low candidate?  I worry he's getting sent back to AAA if he doesn't come around.  Has his long term prognosis changed?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:41
Nothing has changed long-term but I think this year is  one too early for consistent fantasy contributions
Fantasy Trade Evaluation
12:41
On a scale of one (bad) to ten (good), what's your overall evaluation on this trade? I got Gleyber Torres and Shane Bieber for Andres Gimenez and Logan Webb
Nicklaus Gaut
12:41
5
12:42
I can't abide trading Gimenez ; )
SODO MOJO
12:42
Nicklaus, help me out, man. I’m a Mariner homer, and I have to choose 2 of Eloy Jimenez, Jarred Kelenic and Ty France for a weekly cbs lineup. Leaning sitting Eloy, but Ty has been slumping. What say you?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:42
I'm sitting Eloy
Tim the Tool Man

Thanks for your time! E. Cabrera looked great last time out--but I am intrigued by Flaherty. Who would you rather roster?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:42
Cabrera
