Before this disappears into the ether some updated numbers on the news guys as Braves:

Melancon 12.3% K rate, 1.2% BB rate, .458 BABIP, 0.90 FIP, 1.44 xFIP
Martin 12.2%, 1.4%, .389, 2.92, 2.46
Greene 9.8%, 2.5%, .500, 5.40, 3.76

They are who we thought they were—sort of, with Melancon better than expected thus far, and Greene a lot worse by fip, but about right by xfip. Hopefully the final two games of the Dodgers series constitute signs of babip normalisation in progress.

Unless you're Donnie Veal, BABIP always normalizes. The K and BB rates have really been outstanding from all three.

The K rates are considerably worse than their season and career points, but on the bright side they aren't walking people.

The K and BB rates are per 9 innings. For Melancon and Martin, the K rates are up from their previous work this season and other recent seasons. Greene's K rate is down (not by a lot) from earlier this season with the Tigres.

Ok. you expressed them as percentages, which was misleading. Thought there must be something going on since you said 12% K rates were really good.

We are simpatico now.
