The Astros have sent 24-year old switch-hitting SS Marwin Gonzalez to AAA. Gonzalez played in 54 games for the Astros this year and he was 40 for 174 (.230 avg, .589 OPS) with 21 runs scored, 4 homers, 14 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. 30-year old righty swinging Roger Cedeno will take over as the Astros’ starting SS. Cedeno has played in 38 games for the Astros so far this year and he is 28 of 112 (.250 avg, .628 OPS) with 12 runs scored, 1 homer, 11 RBIs and 2 stolen bases. Gonzalez will have to work his way back to the majors by playing well in AAA-ball first.
