Jose Miranda is in a good place. No, he’s not playing one of the corner infield spots or hitting in the middle of the Twins’ lineup, but for someone searching for the swing that made him one of the game’s most dangerous young hitters last season, he’s at peace playing for the St. Paul Saints.Feeling the pressure to reach his potential, to provide for his wife and young daughter, and to secure his future with a long-term contract, Miranda has found the comfort that proper perspective can provide.“There’s a lot of people out there who are having trouble with different things in their life,” he said. “Maybe they’re sick, maybe they’re having a rough time. For me, I got sent down, but it’s not the end of the world.“You’re playing baseball in Triple-A, which is really close to the major leagues. Obviously, we don’t want to be here, we want to be up there, but in the meantime, enjoy the time and put in the work.”Miranda went 1 for 3 with a pair of walks and three RBIs in the Saints’ 11-6 ...Minnesota Aurora give up a goal but still cruise over Chicago Dutch Lions
