In general, it is the first five letters of the last name followed by the first two letters of the first name + 01. Obviously the 01 is just a counter and could be increased for common names (e.g. there is obviously a griffke01 and 02).

If you REALLY want to see, you can open up the Lahman dbase with a dbase program and look through the ids yourself. But I find guessing much less hassle.
