| Marwin Gonzalez breaks slump with two-hit game |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (5/8/13) Astros shortstop Marwin Gonzalez broke a 0-for-16 slump to open May by going 2 for 3 with a double, one run and one RBI Wednesday in the team's 3-1 win over the Angels. The double was Gonzalez's eighth extra-base hit of the year.
The two-hit game gives Gonzalez a .253/.287/.434 line to go with three home runs and three stolen bases in 91 plate appearances this year.

| Marwin Gonzalez trying to finish April on positive note |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (4/29/13) Astros shortstop Marwin Gonzalez is aiming to finish April on a high note after hitting a lull in the middle of the month. Following a 4-for-24 slide from April 12-22, which dropped his season average from .444 to .286, Gonzalez enters play Monday against the Yankees batting .333 (6 for 18) in his last five games.
Gonzalez has one home run, one RBI, two doubles and three runs in his last five games. He's also managed two stolen bases in that span. His batting average is back to .300.

| Marwin Gonzalez's hot start a fading memory |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (4/24/13) Astros shortstop Marwin Gonzalez homered for the third time Tuesday against the Mariners. However, Gonzalez's slump without a multi-hit game extended to 10 appearances (eight starts).
Gonzalez, who hit .444 through his first six games, is batting .185 (5 for 27) in his last 10 games. He has done double, one home run and three RBI in that span.

| Marwin Gonzalez not a long-term SS solution |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (4/14/13) I have no problem with Fantasy owners adding a player like Astros shortstop Marwin Gonzalez and riding the hot hand, but let's just be realistic about his long-term outlook, which isn't very promising.
Gonzalez's slash line in the minors was .260/.307/.355/.662. Offense has never been his strong suit. It's worth noting Gonzalez's BABIP through eight games is .400, which is well above his career .275 average, per FanGraphs.com. He's just getting the hits to fall right now.
If you are in need of shortstop help in the short-term, then get as much out of Gonzalez as you can, but please don't look to him as a long-term solution.

| Marwin Gonzalez to see more playing time |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (4/10/13) Astros manager Bo Porter told MLB.com Wednesday that shortstop Marwin Gonzalez has earned more playing time.
Gonzalez, who is in Houston's lineup Wednesday against the Mariners, is hitting .400/.500/.667 in 18 plate appearances this year with one home run, four runs, three RBI and three walks.
