The Trappers were consistently more successful, that is fore sure. Most of our existence was as the affiliate of some very bad major league parents (Seattle, Pittsburgh and Florida), who both had weak farm systems and avoided bringing pitching prospects to Calgary due to the thin air.
Usually, Calgary and Edmonton ended up the last two teams to grab affiliations because nobody wanted either of us. The Trappers in later year ended up with some fortunate affiliations though. The Expos for a couple years, then the Twins. C'est la vie.
