Curt Schilling thinks Yankees starter Michael Pineda could return from shoulder surgery in less than a year -- and that the right-hander might be even better. "He can be back better than he has ever been in 10 months," Schilling said. "Maybe less, because he is younger. It is going to be 100 percent on him." The Yankees have diagnosed Pineda, 23, with an anterior labral tear. The team says it will take Pineda one year before he will be on a major league mound. Schilling suffered a very similar injury back in 1995. He had the surgery when he was 28 years old. Ten months later, after rigorously following the rehab program, Schilling returned in May 1996 and threw seven shutout innings.
