Eh, physically it only really takes a year. The remainder is the 'rust' period where pitchers rediscover their release/rythm.
This will put him behind on that, but it is what it is. He could very easily start off a little slow next year but there's really nothing to hold against him here. The decision seems pretty straightforward for him.
