I have one trick that helps me a lot... I pop open an Excel spreadsheet while I play and breeze around the league looking at rotations and depth charts. Any guy that catches my eye (that is any potential All-Star), I'll type out his name, team, and position on my spreadsheet. Most importantly, I'll throw in a quick note (usually a sentence or two) about strengths and weaknesses. If the player's in my organization, I'll also make something up about his personality (based on popularity, leadership, work ethic, etc...). If he's not, I'll either do that or make a snide comment.
I find that I retain names better that way. Along with periodic browsing of my Excel cheat sheet and looking up names when they pop up in the news, I find that within a couple of in-game months, I have a good feel for the Big Names in the game.
