If you're on the 40-man, you can only spend 3 years in the minors (i.e., 3 option years) or else you have to clear waivers to go back to the minors. But if a guy is in that situation and as good as the big league team has at his position, then he's probably cheaper too and likely to be up sooner rather than later.
What I think you have in mind is the years of team control at league minimum, maybe?
