Altavilla was a starter until last season.
Playing in the Cali League in '15, he threw 148 innings in 28 starts. Most impressively, he gave up just 11 homers in the Cali launching pads...in 148 innings.
DiPoto has shown no real desire to move guys back to the rotation once they are out of it...but Altavill wasn't terrible as an A+starter. Worth remembering as we move forward beyond '16, altough I think we will keep him in the pen. The two pitch shtick works pretty well there.
