Joe Starkey’s Mailbag: Do the Pirates have a legit All-Star candidate?

Welcome to Joe Starkey’s mailbag, where the Post-Gazette columnist and 93.7 The Fan radio host answers your questions about sports, life, Bob McAdoo and everything in between. If you want to ask Joe a question, tweet him @JoeStarkey1 or email him at jstarkey@post-gazette.com. On to the questions …

Actually, we’re going to start with our intergalactically acclaimed Twitter Poll segment today. I asked the following question Monday and had 948 votes as of early Tuesday morning:

What we learned: This Mullsy thing has staying power, and the Pirates really don’t have an All-Star candidate who jumps off the page — although Cervelli, despite a recent slump and injury issues, still has the best numbers on the team relative to his peers.
