As Pirates begin annual free fall, Huntington is in no hurry to callup top prospects

Alvarez will be compared to Buster Posey for years to come

Memorial Day is around the time where teams begin to callup their top MLB ready prospects as the arbitration deadline is past.

Last year Baltimore's Matt Wieters and Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen were prime examples.

This year has seen the same trend as San Francisco called up top prospect Buster Posey (No. 5 overall pick, 2008) this past week and Washington Nationals pitching phenom Stephen Strasberg will make his MLB debut against the Pirates next week.

As the Pittsburgh Pirates (20-31) have begun their annual free fall in the standings, losing 5 straight and 9 of 11, GM Neal Huntington has no plans to recall any of the Pirates top prospects, including 2006 1st round pick Brad Lincoln who is coming off of another solid performance Friday night against Charlotte.
