There is a HUGE difference between a rehab start and pitching a simulated game. You have to remember that this is going to be his plant leg and unlike other sports more then likely will not be able to pitch with a brace on. While I would gladly eat crow for this, expecting Yo to be back this year it a huge pipe dream. To those that mentioned Thomas, it was 8-9 months after his surgery that he played, and even then he wasn't 100%. He was hurt Jan 1 and had surgery within a week of that. Camp starts mid August and during that he barely did any contact drills. His first real contact was the game week which was the beginning of September.
