Shinsui Hoshino batted well (.771 OPS) in a limited (16) number of at bats for the remainder of 2010.  His offense was adequate in 2011 (.759 OPS with 19 SB), less so in 2012 (.695 OPS with 23 SB), but very good in 2013 (.862 OPS, 14 SB) and 2014 (.842 OPS, 19 SB).  He won the SSG Gurabukin Award at center field in 2011 and 2012 and at right field in 2014.  He won the 2013 Neo-Tokyo Cup.  He played in the 2011 and 2014 all-star games.

Yoshihiro Sato batted well for the remainder of 2010 (.808 OPS), but suffered a torn thigh muscle following the 2010 season that left him sidelined for 8 months.  He hit only adequately in 2011 (.695 OPS)  and less so in 2012 (.638 OPS).  After spending 2013 in the PEBA minors, he put up a good part time performance (.831 OPS, 156 AB) in 2014.  He won the 2010 Neo-Tokyo Cup.  He signed as a free agent with Naha June 29, 2011, Edo in November 30, 2011, then Fushigi Yugi April 6, 2014.

Ryunosuke Nishi had his best season in 2010 (.270 AVG, .755 OPS) after being traded.  His performance dropped off in 2011 (.677 OPS), and never reached full time status again, turning in lackluster performances in 2012 (.359 OPS), 2013 (.694 OPS), and 2014 (.664 OPS).  He won the 2010 Neo-Tokyo Cup.
