Yeah, I don't think career minor leaguers that are before your start year will come up in the search bar. There would be a million of them.
So, go to the Free Agent list, Enter Commish mode, if not already, then look to the far right of the screen for "Actions". Go to Import Historical Player(s). it brings up a pop-up box. Select the historical.database.odb. Then for the ID use "hill--002geo" and for the year use 1978. Then ensure the checkbox for "Include Minor League database" is checked. Then hit ok. He should appear as a FA. He is a year younger than he ought to be, so ensure his birth year aligns with BBR (likely needs to be moved a year to make him a year older).
Ping me if you have any troubles.
