What closer are you talking about? Livan Hernandez is not going to keep putting these numbers up, so I would definitely try to sell him; you didn't name a closer though.

Do not touch the trainwreck that is hoffman. Some Closers like Rivera, age gracefully, some blow every other outing. The Hoff is in this latter category.
Lindstrom will get more chances once Hou heats up a bit and has more Save chances, hes an ace closer with a crap team behind him, but that also means games will always be close. Its the david Aardsma effect. Go for it.

Thoughts?
