edit to add: Digging into Greene's season a little more, some disturbing things become apparent. I know save opportunities are few & far between with the woeful Tigers but his last save was June 29th. After starting the year 22/23, he blew his only two July chances in Detroit and now has 1 BS and 1 L in Atlanta.
And the last time he held a 1 run lead against a team .500 or better? April 30th.

I've been the beneficiary of Luke Jackson's 17 saves as just a speculative pickup in an NL-only roto league. I kind of laughed this week when people were throwing out bids for Greene equal to Trevor Bauer and Marcus Stroman. I just quietly picked up Melancon and figured he eventaully would probably have about the same shot? Did I predict these past two games? No way I'm not that good... but like you said nothing in his profile screamed that he was the answer.
