Another mystery is the knock on Wilhelmsen as being "wild."
He's walked 13 in 28 big league innings.....OK, that's a bit high (about the walk rate of N. Ryan over his career, btw).
But he only walked 80 in 238 MiLB innings.
And he only threw in 57 minor league games.
Considering the sporatic appearances he was making, his control seems to me just fine.
I have no concern about it.  With his silky move to the plate he'll have no problem improving. 
And, of course, there is the philosophy that for a guy that throws a way easy 97-98, a touch of wildness may not be a real bad thing.
