Williams and Foxx were only on the same team for 3.5 years, and one of those Foxx wasn't half of his former self. Plus, I doubt Mantle + Foxx would have been able to do more damage then Williams + Foxx considering Williams was the better hitter in every facet.
Williams
AVG: .344
OBP: .482
SLG: 634
OPS+: 191
Mantle
BA: .298
OBP: .421
SLG: .557
OPS+: 172
Williams also had more WAR, more hits, and only 15 less home runs despite playing in almost a full season's worth of games less than Mantle in his career if counting stats are your thing.
Mick also struck out about 1000 times more than Williams in his career.
