On September 19, 2008, Ramírez hit his third grand slam of the season off of pitcher Brian Bannister of the Kansas City Royals in a 6–4 White Sox win, tying an American League rookie record set by Shane Spencer of the New York Yankees in 1998.
The next year, Bannister began the 2005 season in Double-A Binghamton, where he posted numbers that reflected the quality of his newly developed pitches: a 9-4 record with a 2.56 ERA in eighteen starts.

In 2004, Bannister was assigned to play for High-A St. Lucie in the Florida State League, where he put together a 5-7 record with a 4.24 ERA in twenty starts and was a Florida State League All-Star.
