Assuming they are not maxed out for experience at their position already, they will get better over time simply by playing games. I'm not sure, but I believe experience accumulates more quickly in spring training and in the minors than it does in regular season Major League games.
AFAIK, the only way to know for sure whether a player has maxed out his experience at a position is to look at the player editor in the commissioner mode. The fielding data is near the lower right. The maximum experience at a position is 200. If it is currently something less than that, the player has room for improvement by playing games.
Exactly what the maximum position rating will be, with 200 experience, is dependent upon the player's underlying fielding ratings (range, error, arm, etc.). For example, someone without good range will probably never be a great shortstop or centerfielder.
