Do some teams fill the last few spots on their roster...say the last two or three pitchers or last two position players on the bench with guys who help "in other ways"?

I know for a fact some D1 & D3 HA recruits are given very favorable recommendations to admissions for academic reasons primarily and athletic reasons secondarily.
This is why it is important to understand the coaches motivation for recruiting you. Know where you stand but also put yourself in the coaches shoes. When you begin thinking like that, it becomes a lot more clear what your choices are and where you fit.
