I don't think you could go wrong with either. Dimaggio lost 3 years to Military service in his prime plus retired at 36, so it's not hard to imagine him getting 500 hr's without that...yes yes, plus he bagged Marilyn and I shook his hand, so I have that connection.
 As for Williams, he lost all or parts of 5 years to military service (and he was frickin' John Wayne in real life) so kudo's to him, and it's very easy to imagine him making a serious run at Ruth's HR record without that.

You can't really lose if you have the second pick in this draft. Personally I'd take Joe D, but I have a personal connection to him through my grandfather.

Lifetime WAR -- http://www.baseball-reference.com/le...t_career.shtml
Williams #11 Dimaggio #41 Single-season WAR -- http://www.baseball-reference.com/le...t_season.shtml Williams top 3: #21, #25, #25 (tie) Dimaggio top 3: #116, #226, #245 Since WAR includes both offensive and defensive statistics, it would seem that Williams, by a significant margin, was the superior player.
