Gonzalez agreed to a one-year, $1.062 million contract with the Astros on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports.

Analysis:

Rather than take his case in front of an arbiter, Gonzalez decided to settle at $1.062 million, a figure closer to the one the Astros filed ($900,000) than the one Gonzalez filed ($1.4 million) last week. Regardless, it's a nice raise for the 25-year-old in his first year of arbitration. He'll enter spring training as one of the team's top infield utility options.
