In an article about which prospects are improving their stock (sub. req.), Goldstein says:
Iribarren has always hit-he entered the season with a career minor league average of .324-but his defensive shortcomings always got him dinged him as a prospect... a little too much. A bat like this always plays, and while the Brewers moved the 23-year-old Venezuelan to the outfield this year, he's still hitting, to the tune of .348/.426/.413 in 12 Nashville games wrapped around a brief big league debut. He doesn't have much in the way of power, but his contact ability is big league-worthy as an occasional starter and high-end utility guy.
