Tommy John surgery has progressed to the point that most people make full recoveries. Some even come back stronger.
Strasbourg was back in 13 months.
Lamb is likely going to be on track to begin pitching in game action (or at least simulated game action) in June/July. He should be full strength for the 2013 season, and I think he'll have a decent shot at moving quickly (depends on how long it takes him to get his command/control back). I'd estimate his time of arrival as likely July 2013. Best case (and this would be EXTREME best case), he could be ready for a September callup.
Duffy, best case, is rehabbing around the all-star break next year. All depends on how quickly his body heals, naturally, how bad the tear is, etc.
