When you start looking around for pitchers who've had labrum surgery and returned to action about a year later -- recent examples, because medical science is always advancing -- you're going to wind up with 3 or 4 pitchers.
Rather than us try to medically analyze it with 3-4 case studies on the web, better to skip to the bottom line and ask the surgeons, who have more than 3-4 cases to look at. They're pointing Bedard to May-June.
One thing NYM is that Bedard's labrum escaped detection for quite a while. I'm not guessing that means it's a 70% tear.
As well, Bedard was pitching effectively with the torn labrum. He figures to be better this June than wherever he was last June.

Sheets, Bedard, etc are gambles, which is why they're not getting $100m contracts.
Another pitcher? How about Washbin for the 4 slot... Bedard's $$ would be a drop in the bucket...
