[edit] Biographical Information
Pitcher Cesar Ramos was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 2005 amateur draft. He made his pro debut that summer with the Eugene Emeralds, going 0-1 with a 6.53 ERA in 6 games before being promoted to the Fort Wayne Wizards, where he posted a 3-2 record with a 4.19 ERA in 7 starts. He spent the entire 2006 season with the Lake Elsinore Storm and went 7-8 with a 3.70 ERA. Ranked by Baseball America as the 10th best prospect in the Padres organization in 2007, Ramos went 13-9 with a 3.41 ERA for the San Antonio Missions in 2007. He went 9-11 with a 5.29 ERA in 28 games (27 starts) with the Portland Beavers in 2008. Most of 2009 was spent back with Portland, where he improved to 5-6, 3.99 in 15 starts.
Ramos made his major league debut with the Padres after a late-season call-up in 2009. In his first game in the bigs, Cesar was the 8th San Diego pitcher in a game against the Diamondbacks. He entered in the 9th with a 5-3 deficit and gave up a quick single to Justin Upton. He then retired Miguel Montero and struck out Mark Reynolds. Gerardo Parra singled Upton to third, but Ramos got Brandon Allen on a fly to end the threat. San Diego scored twice in the bottom of the 9th to tie it, then Heath Bell releived Ramos.
