Basically all the articles are sourced to the website of the team who employs Uribe, which is then not a reliable source (effectively self-published). This is especially the case when hyperbole from the website is imported into the article.
The references need to be filled out properly with the access date, author, publisher, title and so forth. Please see {{cite web}} and {{cite news}}
The article needs a proper lead which summarises the content in the main body
There is no info about what he did prior to becoming professional. This is a problem
POV "amazing"
Please do not refer to the person by their first name, only their last name after the initial mention.
You should probably wikilnk home run,
batting average and so forth to begin with.
"Valentin's erratic defense" - cite needed
The shooting incident is not fully sourced- the end part. This is BLP
For future reference, the abbreviation for Major League Baseball, "(MLB)", should be placed after the first usage of the term so that the two can be interchangeable throughout the remainder of the article.
This article is lacking anything about his MLB debut in the section about his playing career. It doesn't even have the date aside from the infobox.
Notable milestones such as Uribe's first career hit and his first career home run should also be mentioned.
Take note of
this copyedit to the 2002 subsection of the article. I noticed you had put the part about his four-hit game on September 17 before his struggles from May through August. Sections like these should be done chronologically if at all possible. Please make sure other sections are not similar before I resume my review in a few hours. (I am very tired right now and am going to bed.)

Alright, continuing the review, you should try to cut down on usage of parentheses in sentences. Phrases such as "In 146 games (minor injuries cost Uribe a few)" would read much better if you could remove the parentheses and put it in better prose.
This is a minor nitpick, but the article uses the phrase "injuries cost" a few times. Try to switch up the verb a bit.
In the 2011 section, you say that "his production was also the weakest of his career, hitting .204...". His production did not hit .204 or get any of those other stats, Uribe himself did, so this should be reworded.
In the personal life section, you should switch around the refs so that they're in numeric order. One of the sentences currently reads "[22][4]".
Most of the Personal life section before the shooting allegations subheader is cited to his player profile, which doesn't really work, as it doesn't verify the information given in the article. You should find sources that better fit the claims.
This is all for my review right now. I will put this on hold for you to fix these issues. You have seven days.

Not quite. Issue #11 has not been addressed, as that section remain poorly sourced.
TCN7JM 13:15, 6 August 2013 (UTC)reply
Done. As I noted on the cite, you have to click on bio on the MLB.com page to see where it mentions some of the personal information.

Oh. I...didn't see that. Whoops. I reverted you there because it was perfectly fine, that being the case. Anyway, this article now looks good enough to pass. Nice job!
