Yep.. you'll continue to say.."If he can only be a #3 this year, then we'll leave him as a closer." He needs that year to work his way into being a #1 or #2 if in fact he does have that ability.
As for him only being a #3, if he's good enough to be a #3 right now, he should be a starter in my opinion.... without a doubt. If he's already good enough to do that, then that's great. It'll only help his progression towards being a #1 or 2 guy in the future. Plus, you need a minimum of three solid starters for the playoffs.
