I think that sweep was the trigger to get Hunter Pence.
Its like the Dodgers are flexing their bankroll, and the Giants are (or hopefully were) trying to figure out the least possible they can spend, and still win the division by 1 game.
I'm actually jealous today.
I would much rather have Pence than Victorino. Always thought Victorino was overrated.
However, the combo of Ramirez/Victorino is better than Pence, so the Dodgers still improved themselves more than the Giants overall.
Will be interesting down the stretch.
