There are some position players that wouldn't even be asked to take a minor league assignment. It just wouldn't happen. They might not be extended, but that's different. They don't necessarily have to be potential HOF candidates either.
Dustin Pedroia and JJ Hardy come to mind, but there are several others. They may not be extended, but you can bet they'll most likely be starters (at least have a VERY long rope) until their contract has ended.
Young players and AAAA players compete for starting positions, not established veterans. OOTP throws these players away like bubble gum wrappers.
