Sure.
A 2nd for a 6th and 7th plus (potentially) 3 years of Springer? it's not horrible.

3 years of Springer....in the 10th round though thanks to your sweet drafting

Will Myers is a 9th rounder... are they not comparable?
Eh, you might be right. Springer is a bit riskier though.
Riskier but also potentially more versatile... we'll see.

George Springer, Archie Bradley & The Service-Time Dance | FanGraphs Baseball
If Springer ultimately pursues a service-time grievance against the Astros, he might have support from Jon Singleton, another well-regarded prospect in Houston’s system. Singleton is the Astros’ first baseman of the future; the question is when the future will arrive. He had a tough 2013 at Triple-A with a .220/.340/.347 slash and suspension for marijuana use. But, like Springer, he’s knocked the leather off the ball at Triple-A this season. By comparison, Astros first basemen were hitting .168/.240/.295 for a 51 wRC+ through Tuesday’s games, the worst in the majors.
So why wasn’t Singleton called up with Springer? Singleton is already on the 40-man roster and is in Triple-A on an option. As Astros beat writer Evan Drelichexplained, if Singleton spends fewer than 20 total days at Triple-A, those count toward major league service time. After 20 days, they don’t. So to keep Singleton from accruing a full year of service time in 2014, the Astros aren’t likely to call up Singleton until at least April 19.
I don't think Ive ever been this low in the standings in any baseball league ever past the first week of the season.
All injured and nonperforming. Damn shame.
