Ted Williams is tied for 7th all time in offensive WAR:

He is well behind Mays in oWAR, and of course way behind him in total WAR. I am surprised Ted is only tied with Tris Speaker in oWAR. Of course Tris Speaker didn't miss a bunch of years because of actual Wars.
But no one holds a candle to Babe Ruth in total WAR. Apparently Babe Ruth wasn't a bad fielder, as his dWAR is only slightly negative (-2.3).
