He made just six appearances as a late inning defensive replacement for Billy Ashley in left field before breaking a bone in his right wrist.

An 0-for-3 performance against the rival San Francisco Giants on April 16 punctuated a 1-for-25 slump that saw his batting average drop to a season low .111.

[13] During the off-season, the Dodgers signed free agent center fielder Devon White, prompting Hollandsworth to request a trade.

Finding his way into the line-up in all three outfield positions, first base and designated hitter during interleague play, Hollandsworth batted .284 with nine home runs and 32 RBIs, all career highs since his rookie season.

With a tight three team race going on in the National League West, Dodgers brass felt they needed to acquire more of a true lead off batter at the trade deadline.

On July 31, Hollandsworth and two minor leaguers were shipped to the Colorado Rockies for former Dodger prospect center fielder Tom Goodwin.

Originally expected to play left field and occasionally spell a day off for Juan Pierre in center, Hollandsworth suffered a season ending injury in early May when he fouled a ball off his shin.

He and Dennys Reyes, who was also a teammate with the Dodgers, were traded to the Texas Rangers for Gabe Kapler and Jason Romano though neither team was in contention.

The Marlins got off to a slow start, and 38 games into the season, fired manager Jeff Torborg, and replaced him with Jack McKeon.

Hollandsworth returned healthy in 2005, and with Moises Alou and Sammy Sosa both departed, had a starting job in left field.

He was batting .254 with five home runs and 54 RBIs when he was acquired by the playoff bound Atlanta Braves on August 29, 2005 for minor league pitchers Todd Blackford and Angelo Burrows.

Following the season, he signed a minor league deal with the Cleveland Indians with a nonroster invitation to Spring training 2006.

[21] He made the club as a back-up corner outfielder behind Jason Michaels and Casey Blake, and batted .237 with six home runs and 27 RBIs.

In 2009, he was named the pre-and-post-game analyst for CSN Chicago's Cubs telecasts alongside David Kaplan, a gig he would hold until the end of the 2016 season.

[23] After one season with Waltz, Hollandsworth teamed up with Paul Severino as Marlins announcers for Bally Sports Florida.
