CHICAGO -- On the day the Chicago Cubs celebrated their first championship in 108 years, one player wasnt exactly in the partying mood.While thrilled his team won the World Series, catcher Miguel Montero wasnt happy with his role on the team in the postseason or the lack of communication about it.It was different for me, Montero said to the Waddle and Silvy Show on ESPN 1000 on Friday. It was a different emotion because I didnt get a chance to play. I was a little disappointed, to be honest, because I felt like I did a good job in the regular season but was left out a little bit. It made me feel a little like not important or maybe not as good to be in this lineup.Montero had just 12 at-bats the entire postseason, including four in the World Series, but he had some keys hits throughout the month of October. Manager Joe Maddon gave rookie Willson Contreras the bulk of the playing time behind the plate due to his stronger throwing arm, leaving Montero to catch just the final two innings of Game 7 against the Cleveland Indians.Montero also drove in what turned out to be the final run in the top of the 10th inning in the deciding game, an 8-7 victory.I think the toughest part for me is they never communicated with me, Montero said. Im a veteran guy. They talk about veteran leadership. I have 11 years in the game and two All-Star [appearances]. I expected to be treated a little better. I was expected to get communication. Just let me know. Put me in the loop. That was the toughest part for me because I never understood what my role was going to be.Montero struggled early in the season but found his swing in the second half producing an .807 OPS in September. He also had some clutch hits in the postseason including a grand slam in the Game 1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.Catching the last two [innings] of the World Series made it sweet, Montero said. Otherwise, it would have been nice because Im part of it but maybe I didnt help as much as I wanted to help. To be more involved ... I would have felt bad to go home with the trophy and not even catch one inning in the World Series. That would be the tough part.Montero likened it to playing in a golf scramble in which a players ball is never used but the foursome still wins. He also echoed criticism of Maddons use of closer Aroldis Chapman, reminding everyone that the Cubs got to Clayton Kershaw and Corey Kluber when they pitched on short rest.Chapman was hit hard in Game 7 after Maddon used him in Games 5 and 6 despite the latter contest being a blowout win.He [Chapman] could be tired? Montero asked rhetorically. Of course he was tired. The guy threw 40 pitches two days ago. You have guys in the bullpen doing the job all year -- they should be able to help, too.Montero is signed for one more year for $14 million and is considered a good teammate. In the same interview, he praised right fielder Jason Heyward for his leadership skills.Montero fell behind veteran David Ross, who is retiring, and Contreras for playing time but always tried to make the best of it with a self-deprecating sense of humor.Im mentally drained, he said. Physically, I feel pretty good because I didnt play much. Cheap Fake Jerseys . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October.

Jamie Vardy leads the way with a point shy of 200 so far, but it was Manchester United debutant Marcus Rashford who racked up more points than any other player over the weekend with 20 thanks to two goals and an assist against Arsenal.Heres a look at the leagues best-performing XI, which you could actually afford with £2.3m to spare with Sky Sports Fantasy Footballs 75m budget... Petr Cech (£5.9m)Plenty suggested the former Chelsea man was the final piece to Arsenals title-winning puzzle, but while he has kept his end of the bargain, with a league high of 12 clean sheets, the Gunners are five points off the pace following their 3-2 Old Trafford loss. An honourable mention goes to Watfords Heurelho Gomes (£4.3m), who sits second after racking up his 10th clean sheet and fourth Sky Sports Man of the Match award in Saturdays stalemate with Bournemouth.Toby Alderweireld (£6.5m) Toby Alderweireld has helped transform Tottenhams defence The Belgians influence has arguably been the most important factor in Tottenhams title charge, transforming one of the leagues worst defences into the very best. Spurs conceded more goals than relegated Hull last season and the same at home as bottom side QPR, compared to five less than any other side this season. Alderweireld has also chipped in with three assists and two goals.Jose Fonte (£6.5m)The return of Fraser Forster has helped Southampton become the leagues most in-form backline. Fonte and co racked up six clean sheets in a row and went 639 minutes without conceding until Chelsea launched their late comeback on Saturday.Virgil van Dijk (£6.1m) Virgil van Dijk has racked up more than any other summer signing Replacing Alderweireld was never going to be an easy task but Southamptons typically shrewd recruitment came up trumps again by bringing the Dutchman in from Celtic. His performances have warranted four MOTM awards, with 10 clean sheets and two goals seeing him rack up more points than any other Premier League defender.Mesut Ozil (£8.4m)Arsenals assist machine Ozil has proved to be the Premier Leagues No 1 creative force, setting up 18 goals this season and collecting passing bonus points on eight occasions. The German also took his goal tally to five at the weekend, while boasting three MOTM awards.Dele Alli (£4m) Dele Alli has scored seven goals and six assists this season The 19-year-old has undoubtedly been the young revelation of the season, going from leading MK Dons to promotion froom Sky Bet League 1 to starring in Tottenhams title charge.dddddddddddd To put into context just how unexpected his success has been, Sky Sports Fantasy Football priced him up at a mere £4m at the start of the season, less than half the price of Eden Hazard, who has collected just 65 points, and the same as Leicesters Joe Dodoo and West Hams Josh Cullen, who have a combined 20 minutes of Premier League action to their names.Ross Barkley (£6.7m)Barkleys good form this season has come despite Evertons relatively disappointing campaign, scoring eight and setting up another seven. Roberto Martinezs men have scored more than any side outside the top four but have failed to make the most of their attacking prowess, with just eight wins leaving them 12th in the table. Barkley edges Stokes Marko Arnautovic (129 points, £5.5m), Cesc Fabregas (125 points and £8.7m) and Georginio Wijnaldum (123 points and £7m) out of the team of the season. Sky Sports Fantasy Football Not got a team yet? Theres still plenty of weekly and monthly prizes to be won this season. Riyad Mahrez (£6m)The Algerian is the Premier Leagues top performing midfielder by over 30 points courtesy of reaching double figures in both goals and assists - the only player to achieve that feat this season. He also boasts a league high of nine MOTM awards while scoring the same amount of goals as Sky Sports Fantasy Footballs most expensive player Sergio Aguero, with 14 to his name.Jamie Vardy (£7.3m) Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez have fired Leicester to the top of the table Having scored five goals in a side which needed the most remarkable of escapes to avoid relegation last season, few expected Vardy to be topping the scoring charts and Leicester to be top of the table with 11 games to go. The former Stocksbridge Park Steels striker is also Sky Sports Fantasy Footballs leading scorer on 199 points, with six assists and seven MOTM awards going alongside his 19 goals.Odion Ighalo (£6.5m)In a season of surprise packages, Watford striker Ighalos efforts have gone somewhat under the radar. The Nigerian ended 2015 as the highest scoring player in the top four tiers of English football, while his 15 goals and six assists have contributed to the leagues most prolific strike partnership, with Troy Deeney netting eight times and setting up another seven.Romelu Lukaku (£8.8m)Evertons powerful frontman keeps Harry Kane (£9.3m and 151 points) out of the line-up despite both players being on 16 goals, with the Belgian boasting three more assists and one more MOTM award than the England striker. The goals have dried up of late, however, with just one from his last seven Premier League appearances, following a run of 10 in his previous nine.
