Lee Mazzilli out as SNY studio analyst; Bob Ojeda in?
SNY will replace Lee Mazzilli as its lead studio analyst next season, industry sources say, and fellow 1986 Met Bob Ojeda appears to be the leading candidate to replace him.
Maz spent the past two seasons in the role alongside Matt Yallof, performing capably but not exactly breaking through as a TV personality.
Ojeda coached with the Brooklyn Cyclones and Binghamton Mets earlier this decade.

interesting since Harold Reynolds is also out at SNY, leaving for a full time gig with MLB Network (right?). Maybe Doc Gooden can join the crew too. Or bring up Ray Knight from Washington (it's nice to practice in a place where nobody is watching).
Neil,
Are you upset that your bald, racist, misogynist hero hasn't been considered for this gig?
is any chance that Lee will be on the Mets coaching staff at first base. They need a first base coach still. I like Lee as a coach better then a analyst.
This roster is an '86 Mets monopoly with Ron, Keith, Darryl, and Bobby O. I was born too late so I would like to see more of my generation of Mets like Piazza or Todd Ziele. Shame Al Leiter's relationship with the organization absolutely fizzled after he got mad Omar let him go. He would have been good, though I doubt we would save Ron Darling from the Washington Nationals if that happened.
Is John Gibbons still out a job? His personality I think could work well on television.
