Another way to make keeping track of prospects more manageable is to enable the "ghost players" feature in the league options. This allows you to avoid signing a lot of the "filler" players that Cras talked about, and so the players that you do have will tend to be actual, legit prospects or at least recent draft picks. So for example you might have just 10 players in your Double A club. When that team plays games, the rest of roster will be made up of ghost players -- temporary placeholder players generated just for that game and then automatically deleted.

Be careful when having a small number of players on your minors as the ghost players that fill it really suck and you may notice allot of pitchers dominating your team with allot of 1-2 hit shutouts. It doesn't seem to matter how good the 10 real players are as the ghosts will bring them down or at least they do to my teams.
