Be interesting to see how CC handles this. He will probably wait and see how his semester grades are to decide about his future with the MSU program.
He's already done.
His dad made good money in pro ball, yet he is driving around with no insurance.
NT
Wonder If it was no insurance or no proof of ins?
On the thing I saw it said no insurance.

Does anyone really consider him still on the team? I think he has been done with us for at least five weeks conservatively.
And as far as him not having insurance- that's just irresponsibility and immaturity. At any rate insurance is the least of his problems in that mess.
Well if he has no proof (but actually has insurance) then he is incredibly irresponsible. How hard is it to keep a card?Quote:

Well its definitely a lot easier now than it used to be. You can get an app on your phone for whoever your provider is and pull it up at any time. Chances are though that its his parents account and they have the log-in. I'd definitely be lying if I said I always swapped mine out in time under the old system with the cards (which a lot of people still utilize), and I know plenty of people who have gotten tickets for no proof of insurance when they actually had it just because their card was expired. Unless you end up needing it, its not something you think about very often after you throw it in the glovebox or console or whatever.Quote:

If this was a current player in any sport with no prior transgressions we'd be all empathetic and say "young kid who made a mistake....blah blah blah". No need to pile on to a situation that's already resolved itself.
Surprised he's still in school.
I'm guilty of the same thing (and I don't have the Geico app, should get it). I renew every 6 mos and sometimes I forget to put the new card in my car. Thankfully after all these years I haven't needed it.Quote:

I have actually been stopped and ticketed for not having an updated card in my possession. Old one had been out less than a week. I had to go to courthouse and show proof of insurance and ticket was waived. It can happen. And I'm not immature. Closer to old geezer forgot to update card.
Hate the entire situation for Marrero, but he has nobody else to blame. Would have hurt a lot worse if he were a .350 hitter though. So there's that.

Yeah I've been ticketed for that like 4 or 5 times. Always dropped when I showed I had already had ins to the court or the clerk. And that's not counting the several times the cop didn't bother to ticket me after watching me comb thru multiple expired cards.Quote:

I'm lucky if my wife can find her car to bring it home, much less the insurance card.Quote:

Rumor is he went off on an academic counselor about the time Cyr and Mangum were suspended and that was the real last straw. I mean the guy has been suspended indefinitely since what? Indiana State?Quote:

I think Mississippi is worse than some states about pulling people over. Assuming you live in Mississippi.Quote:

In a way, he is lucky he did not do this in Rookie League. He can transfer to FGCU or something like that and try again.
