It's midseason in fantasy baseball and I'm already worn out and tired of Sunday evenings.

Maybe I'm in the minority since I essentially play fantasy baseball for a living, but the grind of doing free agent bids for multiple leagues on Sunday nights gets old.

Usually I'm outside as much as possible on a nice summer weekend but have the constant thought that I must get on my computer midday Sunday to ensure I get some bids in.

Then just when I'm exhausted from a great weekend, I need to rally and put in moves. And then amid the rush of getting back to work on Monday (typically your busiest work day), I need to input starting lineups before day games and make moves.

The answer is to get rid of the Monday deadline.

Now I'm sure those of you with busy schedules during weekdays have no sympathy. But here's why I think the optimal deadline is what my AL-only league moved to several years ago: Friday (And no the optimal setup is not daily lineups, we're talking leagues with weekly moves). We have free agents due late Thursday night and then set lineups on Friday up until each individual MLB team game.

Here's the top selling points:

1) The weekly deadline to set rosters should be before a period with the most games.

With the free agent deadline on Thursday night, rosters are set on Friday. That way you set lineups ahead of three days when every teams play. Contrast that to Monday, when you are setting lineups before two days when not every team plays and typically the fewest number of games are played. That puts fantasy teams at a disadvantage as they have to guess on lineups and starting pitchers amid days off. With a Friday lineup deadline, you know you'll get three games out of your player if healthy. The NFBC has moved in recent years to add a second midweek deadline on Friday just for hitters. It should move it's regular deadline to Friday altogether.

2) Less guessing on injuries.

With every team playing three games from Friday to Sunday, it always seems like injuries take place on the weekend and roster moves and DL stints are made on Mondays and Tuesdays. And far too often after a day off when you are left guessing whether a player will go on the DL. This leads to far too many times you guess incorrectly on a DL stint and leave an injured player on your roster all week. With the Friday lineup deadline, most DL moves from midweek injuries are announced before Friday's game. On Friday you get more information to set your lineups. On Mondays, you are too often making moves in the dark.

3) Avoiding holiday weekends.

Memorial Day, Labor Day, Easter Sunday. There's nothing worse that having to make free agent bids and then setting lineups in the middle of a holiday weekend. The Monday deadline ensures two of those times. Easter Sunday is always an issue. Now I realize the July 4th holiday moves around and there are likely other major religious holidays I'm neglecting, but at least moving away from the Monday deadline ensures missing three problem dates.

4) In sync with work week.

This is more subjective since not everyone works Monday to Friday, but most people work Thursday even if they leave early Friday for an early weekend. Having free agents on Thursday night allows you to get all your bids in before departing. You just need to set your lineups before you take off Friday morning. It's also less jarring to do free agents during or after work than switching gears in the middle of a day off. Of course, there are likely many people who have a schedule where this isn't the case, but I think this is more likely to be the majority.

So before we endure another season of stressed out Sundays and tired Sunday nights trying to ensure you don't miss out on that key free agent, let's start a movement to end the Monday deadline. Just because it's the first day on the calendar doesn't mean we arbitrarily need to make it so for our fantasy baseball leagues.
