Playing career

Minor Leagues

Ramírez signed with the Detroit Tigers at the age of 17 as an undrafted free agent in 2003. He began playing for the Gulf Coast Tigers in the Gulf Coast League in 2003, but missed the entire 2004 season due to a shoulder injury. In 2005, he joined the Low-A West Michigan Whitecaps in the Midwest League, where he established himself as a prospect by hitting 16 home runs with 21 stolen bases. Whitecaps manager Matt Walbeck praised Ramirez's work ethic: "He's got a very good attitude, he likes to play."[1] Baseball America named him the #5 prospect in the organization.[2] In 2006, he played for the Single A Lakeland Flying Tigers, where he dealt with injuries that shortened his season. In 2007, he split time between Lakeland and the Erie SeaWolves of the Double A Eastern League. 2008 saw Ramírez spend most of the season in Erie before earning a call-up to the Triple A Toledo Mud Hens. After the 2008 season Ramírez was named the 6th best Tigers prospect by Baseball America.[3]

In 2008, Ramírez participated in the All-Star Futures Game during the Major League Baseball All-Star Game weekend. He even participated in the 2010 Futures Game for the World team.

Ramírez has also participated in the Dominican Winter League.
