IMO the ideal time is during preseason. I guess you could take care of that at any time during the offseason; I just find the first day of the preseason to be a good time in general to stop and take a long look at what's happening in your league. That's also when I make any franchise moves / division realignments / etc. because that's when the "new year" starts in the encyclopedia that's part of the game.
Otherwise, if you do it during the season you'll wind up with league totals at the end of it that aren't based on the numbers you entered in and so if you don't like how they came out, you won't really be able to know how much to adjust. Doing it in preseason allows you to have a very, very vague idea of how things might look by looking at spring training, although IME the situations are so much removed from how regular season games play out that I think this works as a very general guideline at best.
