6. (all time) Pedro Martinez, .6857%
11. Johan Santana, .6703%
17. Roy Halladay, .6636%
18. Roy Oswalt, .6634%
24. Tim Hudson, .6547%
There ya go...good guesses, but Tim Hudson was a toughy. Not someone you'd think of right off the bat.
A starting pitcher question this week:
Of the top twenty-five starting pitchers in career win-loss percentage, five are active major leaguers. Can you name them?
I'll give the answer after the game is over. Just a head's up: the answers are all starting pitchers, no relief pitchers (even those that have pitched for many seasons) will qualify.

do you count Randy Johnson as “active,” since he is on the DL?
Since I just saw that Andy Pettitte passed Lefty Grove on the Yankees’ all time win list, I would guess Pettitte.
So, if Johnson is “active,” I will go with Pettitte, Moyer, and Jonson.
If he isn’t, I will add Pedro Martinez to the other two above.
rj would still count
only players that have officially retired count as no longer being active

No clue but I'll guess
(I assume there’s a minmum number of games and some guy with a 3-1 record won’t qualify)
Pedro Martinez
Mariano Rivera
Randy Johnson
Tim Hudson
Roy Holliday

right
i’m going off whatever baseball reference has for me…i would assume a minimum of 75 decisions or something similar

i didn't mean "right"
as in his answers were right, i meant, he was right in assuming there was a minimum number of games to qualify. sorry for the misunderstanding

I got three right (Pedro, Hudson & Halliday) - lucky guesses
(and I had a reliever in there – I didn’t notice this was limited to starters – I would have missed the last two anyway – my next choice would have been John Smoltz – but he was both a starter and a reliever)
It’s sad I had so little faith in Roy Oswalt.
But 3 out of 5 – not bad for me
