    This one is pretty easy to and cheap to build if you have the LS cards to fill out the Castillo buff.

    This is basically the same base idea and core concept as the non S2 build before.
    Every player in the lineup has a purpose to move your runners with bunts and high contact base hits.
    Speed is secondary but still a big priority for this build.

    Captains can likely vary but so far Jeter/Castillo is the best for me in this case. This build will give you T2 Jeter and T2 Castillo. Nothing too crazy but it's good enough to bump your team to a whopping 87 overall.

    Lineup:

    1.) Richie Ashburn
    2.) Derek Jeter
    3.) Adalberto Mondesei
    4.) Kyle Tucker
    5.) Cal Raleigh (Supercharged)
    6.) Byron Buxton
    7.) Martin Dihigo
    8.) Garrett Hampson
    9.) Ozzie Smith

    You should be able to land bunts with at least 6 players in your lineup.
    The best ones of course will be Ashburn, Mondesei, Buxton, Dihigo, Hampson, and Smith.
    Get your guys on base and abuse their speed and steals.
    Eventually your opponent will catch on and try to shift his fielders or change pitching. That's where you need a reliable bench.
    I fill my bench with pinch hitters and a little speed. Need the clutch hits and base running as your power is going to be weak. Gotta get on and off those bases. If you're playing outside of ranked and non S2 your bench can have a lot more power. In this case it's more utility.

    Bench:

    Chase Utley
    Adley Rutschman
    TJ Friedl
    Trea Turner

    Now the rotation I believe could go either way.
    I decided to run the Castillo boost alongside Jeter Captain of captain boosts.
    I have 3 core captain pitchers that qualify. I'm sure you could stack your other captains here and be just fine with whoever you pick.
    There are plenty of really good LS pitchers to choose from and obviously since it's a S2 build you will be using plenty of LS in your lineup and rotation to take advantage of at least a T2 boost from Castillo. Again, your pitchers can probably be whoever you want from S2 eligibility but for me I make Jeter/Castillo work fine.

    Rotation:

    Luis Castillo
    Tyler Glasnow
    Zack Wheeler
    Tarik Skubal
    Ranger Suarez

    Rob Nen
    Seranthony Dominguez
    Drew Pomeranz
    Matt Straum
    Jose Alvarado
    Evan Phillips
    Yimi Garcia
    Mariano Rivera
