Pedro Martinez has the highest winning percentage of any active player. Randy Johnson IIRC is 5th, behind Pedro, Moose, Clemens, and 2 guys who have a lot of career left to lower that metric (Hudson and Mulder).Not the best of examples...

I'm aware of Petey being #1 overall, trust me. I was just pointing to obvious examples over the last 2 seasons where W-L was not a good metric in response to randomlefty.
It wasn't in response to your career W-L record contention. I understand that over a long career that it generally balances off for most guys. However, there's so many external factors, that I don't particularly care for it. Not to mention the fact that it's what EVERYONE cites when talking about pitchers so I probably am more defensive than I should be when it comes to using it.
