Of course, we will link to the blog from a few places. Definitely.

But the point I'm not getting is why would we want to worry about trying to raise the PR of a subdomain, when we could bring it right away to the already high PR level that our root domain currently has, by setting up our blog as a subdirectory when we launch it?

If we launch it as subdomain, even if we give one link to it from our root domain, it will take months before the content of the blog starts ranking for search queries and gain visibility. One good link from our root domain will not be enough to give it enough of a boost, don't you think?
