“He helped me a lot, that’s no secret,” Schoop said. “Manny [Machado] helped me, too, but Cruz taught me when I was a rookie. It’s good having him right now with the maturity I have right now and with him to keep helping me, so I now I know what I’m doing but with his experience and his talents he’s going to help me more. I’m going to be more consistent with him here.”
