Throwing exceptions in Comparator classes?

I would like to use the results of this method in a Comparator but getBattingAverage throws DivideByZeroException. I am unsure of where to proceed from here, my understanding being that it isnt possible to throw exceptions (or deal with methods which throw exceptions) within a Comparator because the Comparator interface doesn't allow for exceptions to be thrown. If anyone could shed any light on the best course of action that'd be great. Matt

For anyone else who searches through and finds this topic at a later date, I just changed the exception to extend RuntimeException rather than Exception, which seems to work quite nicely. I can't vouch for it being good form but it serves its purpose. Cheers.
