    Most Likely To Throw Perfect Game

    Who do you think will be the most likely to throw a perfect game and why?


    I went with C.C Sabathia as I made this list because he doesn't rarely walks people and has a lot of strikeouts. Perfect combo for a perfect game. Defense behind him isn't too shabby either.

    Verlander. Threw a no-hitter last year and if he has his best stuff he's absolutely incredible. Although a lot of it is luck anyway.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I think anyone one of those guys could, but then again so could some #5 guy that has a high E.RA too.

    I thought of putting Cain but he has such control problems that it would make next to impossible for him to do it. Then again Nolan Ryan has 7 no-no's.

    I went with Jake Peavy because I'm a Padres fan and this is one of the hardest things to predict.

    But you yourself asked the question of perfect game. Ryan doesn't have any of those.

    Peavy doesn't even go more than 7 innings anymore, forget perfect games much less complete games. Chris Young's more likely to throw a perfect game than Peavy is, IMO.

    Anyways I went with Verlander.

    If Chris Young were an option I would have voted for him.

    I cannot with good conscience put Wang in that class of pitchers but you are free to use him as a choice.

    Peavy.. but he's most likely to throw a perfect game and still lose.
