I don't connect with the players, teams, anything. Whenever I play a standard MLB game though, it's players I know, leagues, teams, everything that I know. I get some immersed in the game world that I go hours and hours playing. I never do that with a fictional game.
How do you guys stay immersed in a fictional set up? How do you care about your players and leagues?

Personally I put a lot of work into it - I follow the top players, look at team histories, am always looking for up and coming stars, etc. I love fictional and always have at least one league running. It takes a while because you don't have all the background an ever-present media provides you with for the real MLB. In the end I find.it very rewarding though.
I am probably something like 60% fictional, 30% historical and 10% real MLB.
