Brad Thomas was outstanding in his role as a closer last year and his performance allowed the Elephants fans to overcome the exit of Ryan Cullen who was sacked shortly after he abruptly walked out of a match against Sinon Bulls (citing shoulder injury).
There are talks that Thomas would double-up as the pitching coach for the "Yellow-Troopers," although it's still yet to be announced officially by the team.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

The Elephants are also believed to be in the hunt for a Japanese pitcher and are hoping to keep Brad Thomas (3-0, 23 saves, 0.75 ERA in 41 games) who joined the club in the middle of the 2012 season.
Jim Magrane (11-12, 4.01 ERA in 29 games) and Robert Livingston (1-2, 3.25 ERA in 6 games) were both released at the end of the year.
