Question about Michael Hollimon transfer after ‘04


Recommended Posts

What was the reason Hollimon transferred after being the starting SS on a CWS finalist team? Was it because he was going to lose the starting job to Johnston? Or maybe something happened with him and Augie? Looking back on it, and I wasn’t closely following baseball in ‘04, it seems odd to transfer to Oral Roberts when the roster was still loaded for another CWS run.

To make things even weirder, he was the only one of those infielders to make it to the show. I thought Seth was gonna get a cup of coffee and maybe Maroul if he improved at the plate. But nope.

Did Thigpen make it to the show?

When Hollimon transferred Johnston moved from 2nd to SS and Robby Hudson transferred in to play 2nd, but Hudson really struggled offensively.

Yes briefly with the Jays

Totally got my years mixed up. For whatever reason I was thinking Chance over at first. Which is odd, Thigpen was one of my favorite players of that era
