My fully rested, All-Star Closer for two of the three previous years, just went 6 weeks without even getting an appearance in the game. Setup men and middle relievers got save opportunities, converting some, blowing others, but my Closer might has well not have existed.

That is bizarre. There seems to be no consistency. My league has a 35 year history of which 15 years I have had a team and typically closers get 33 to 40 saves and the teams get 40 to 50 saves. I use Sky dog's settings too. I do believe that the AI is too reactive and may be changing the closer from game to game on the computer controlled teams.
Have you tried reducing starting pitcher endurance on the era settings? The other thing that has been done is to put the closer in as the second set up guy as well as the closer.
Another question, is it possible that game scores in your league cause the AI to think that it is not a save situation and therefore not use the closer?
Perhaps the logic to determine the closer use is flawed. Edit dohhh! obvious
