That could go on forever. Logically, one example is all I need to demonstrate that players sometimes do accept minor league assignments, and if you won't accept incontrovertible evidence of that, there's not much else I can do. If you want more examples, google, it took me two seconds to find McGehee.
For all intents and purposes, it never happens. It's not close. Do you think the number of players who accept the assignment is anywhere close to those who don't, or are you just trying to be pedantic?
